Buy My Volvo Commercial Makes Convincing Case

After all, it's not every day that you can buy a car with Hepatitis B and a haunted backseat for the low, low cost of one really long Xbox.

In September of last year, Luke Aker impressed the hell out of pretty much everybody by delivering a ridiculously-well-done commercial for his 1996 Maxima GLE beater. So impressive was Aker’s effort to make his POS look like a piece of art that Nissan opted to buy the Maxima for the original asking price of $1,400 and donate an additional $1,000 to a charity of his choice Aker went with Wounded Warrior).

“Cold hurled and forged in spotless tweed”

John Woo doves

Cat decals

You will be perceived as “rich and cuddly

“Pure Renegade”

Haunted backseat

It was in the game Hexen
